Still only 22, I am a young woman originally from Ghana who has worked very hard to arrive at this point where I am ready to begin graduate school here in the USA. Enormously dedicated to the study of both International Relations and language, I put a lot of extra effort in fulfilling the requirements for an undergraduate degree in French as well as IR. Of course, looking forward to a long and productive future doing research in international relations and development in the

An Egyptian dentist, I dream of becoming not only an endodontics specialist and professor in Egypt but also serving as a visiting professor and research associate in many universities worldwide. Ultimately, my long term vision is towards collaboration in the development of a world-class institute in Egypt specializing in endodontics, dedicated towards the advancement of teaching and research. The institute that I envision would be fundamentally international attracting partic

American history has been my special passion for many years. Thus, I am applying to your program so that I can become professionally engaged in what I find most meaningful in life. I am especially interested in doing graduate work in the area of the recent meltdown of the US economy and its historical antecedents. I am especially keen about the task of coming to better see our economic trouble through the refractory lenses of other problematic points in our history, especiall

As a child of an immigrant family from the Ukraine, I came to the West at the close of a long and brutal era in my country of origin; I was only 13 years old when I escaped with my family to the West. For me, diversity in America is not so much formed on the basis of our genetic codes, but by our experiences as immigrants, learning English from scratch as an adolescent, for example, as in my case, as well as being Jewish. I have learned to understand and appreciate how often

I see my very strong work ethic as my greatest asset along with the way that I have grown intellectually as a result of persevering through many hardships. I am an exceptional student in and outside of the classroom, the first in my family to pursue a second degree, and any degree in the legal field. My parents emigrated from Nigeria and I am the first born in America. I have enhanced my analytical prowess and writing ability primarily from working towards the psychology degr

In South Korea, where I was born, I served twenty-nine months as an army chaplain, counseling troubled soldiers, positively affecting overall camp morale. Even in South Korea, there were soldiers from myriad backgrounds, a challenge I welcomed and greatly enjoyed, illuminating my life's path all the more clearly. Upon completing my Master's of Divinity, I taught at a Korean English-speaking school, but eventually emigrated to America, my new adopted home, where I completed my

We never forget where we come from, our humble beginnings and the people who light the fire of creativity, spirit and drive in our hearts. Growing up in Alabama, most of the men in my family were incarcerated at differing times. I prided myself in being a loner, yet always looking up with great respect to my parents, never forgetting that it was their sacrifices, and their encouragement that enabled me to become the first person in my family to obtain an undergraduate degree.

In terms of my research interests, my career has led me to my true purpose: the inclusion of physically disabled students into mainstream schools. The variables and their names change- integration, inclusion, inclusive education, equality but the bottom line remains the same: general education teachers attitudes and administration's inadvertent misinformation and or ignorance. Furthermore, some fundamental questions persist, as well: should their be systemic change, or simply

Furthering myself through the intensive XXX Program at XXX University is more than simply a rational progression for my education, as at my current level of education I will quickly exhaust every possible avenue of promotion and challenge. Through the XXX program, I will increase my competency in a number of key areas and develop my leadership, supervisory skills and construction management abilities, placing them logically upon the backdrop of my practical experiences in the

I am eager to search for and embark on a different approach to aiding my community, bringing about progressive social change on a larger scale. This is where an academic relationship with XXXX Law begins. Growing up in XXXX, North Carolina, only two percent of the population was African American, and all of them were related to me. As the only African American girl in grade school, I experienced firsthand the insensitivity of children, and the ignorance of adults. However, by

I am convinced that someday, America can become a fully egalitarian and interracial society. I am an American with an interracial identity. I exist. I am real. I am here. For every interracial person, this process of finding one's own in society takes years of profound thought, strength and determination. Too few even embark on this struggle, too many choosing to allow themselves to drown in apathy, low self-esteem and limited self-efficacy. For my part, I want to help celebr

Having been born and raised in the Mongolia of the 1980s and 90s, the decades in which my country gained independence from the Soviet Union and gradually began to rebuild a post-USSR identity; I am a child of the Democratic Revolution, I aml am a child of hope, hope for tomorrow, for progressive, humanitarian social change. As my homeland reinvented itself through massive development, so I have gone forward to follow my life's path: a career in Law. Transitions are seldom eas

I am eager to break and, frankly, shatter the glass ceiling that society has set for how Native Americans are typically viewed. I truly believe I can make a difference. With almost a decade of solid work experience as a teacher and the limits that I have set for myself, know no boundaries. I have taught many students over my career so far and can definitely help and motivate them to become better themselves. Teaching is an ideal profession to help others determine and reach t

For the past seventeen years, I have maintained an academic and professional commitment to linguistics and teaching excellence. While I have welcomed each new challenge, I have come to realize that I gain greater personal and professional satisfaction tipping the scales in favor of Hispanic and Latino children struggling with acculturation. It is my belief that by impressing upon immigrant youth their place in America's rich tapestry of cultural diversity, the pace of their a

Having reached a point in my professional career where I feel I will quickly exhaust every path of promotion and challenge at my current academic level, I am eager to begin a more precise refinement of my existing abilities and education. Specifically, I am interested in a career in which I can bring my passion for computers, mathematics, and complex problem solving to the business world and its unique set of challenges. A graduate degree in operations research engineering is

For the past five years, I have dedicated myself to the education of teens as a credentialed and highly involved high school classroom teacher. This devotion, coupled with my refined approach to work even outside of the classroom has made me a successful teacher. While I have filled my time within and outside the classroom, giving students all that I am, I have been left wanting to do that much more. Coupled with this is my disenchantment with an educational system that I bel

To date, I have maintained over a decade of conceptual continuity in my academic and professional careers, a consistent and unswerving path to Acoustics in Engineering. Indeed, further confirmation that I am exactly where I need to be has been reinforced through my yearlong relationship with Dr. XXX of the University of XXX, in Australia, an academician of some prominence and fellow musician - in the area of Acoustics. Through his observations and encouragement, a passion for

For twenty-two years, I have served the US Army and the people of XXX and am eager to begin a new chapter in my career, one that combines service to my country as well as developing a deeper understanding of the role and duties of the Legislative Liaison. If selected for the XXX, I envision completing a graduate Legislative Liaison program, building my exposure in the field as a Legislative Assistant to the XXX. Moreover, through my position, I will be ensuring that elected o

Having completed my undergraduate and graduate degrees in mechanical and manufacturing engineering, respectively, I am eager to being my Ph.D. research. To date, my research, both professionally and academically is solid evidence of my patience, and ability to solve real-time problems in manufacturing. My focus for future research is firmly in robotics, cnc machines and advanced manufacturing processes. Completing my Ph.D. in mechanical/manufacturing engineering, I will be ab

For the past twelve years, I have dedicated my professional career, time and energy wholly to ensuring that children all children received the finest educational, nurturing and guidance I could possibly provide. Yet, I have only been left wanting to give more, and on a greater scale, to bring to focus my passion for educating our special needs children and address omnipresent, even growing needs that I have seen and want to address in my school district. In order to affect th

While I was too young to remember all my family endured in the Haiti of the early 1900s, I have grown up knowing all that did happen, from first hand accounts of events that most Americans, and thankfully so, will never have to endure; the corruption, collapse of healthcare services, and rampant public health issues. Coming to America was a chance to start over, and to give back to the country that had welcomed us, and the invaluable opportunity to bring a better tomorrow to

Statistics are the life's blood of our golden age of information. The data generated across industries, disciplines, and countries brings with it the mammoth task of organizing that information, making it sensible, and translating it into information useable for specific purposes. From the time I was introduced to the concepts surrounding Statistics, I have dedicated myself to its study. While classmates around me struggled with memorizing formulas, never fathoming what they

Having been a scientist involved in industry and research, I have learned that extraordinary science comes from extraordinary mentorship. As a future educator, I feel that my professional background, combined with a solid foundation in science education I will have the opportunity to instill in my students newfound enthusiasm for the sciences, helping them channel their strengths and identify and improve upon their weaknesses. Students of today are tomorrow's problem solvers
